“Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.” Proverbs 4: 25-27
Pursue a sincere and direct purpose, avoiding temptations and let your actions be uniformly and constantly good in spite of any temptations. Keep your focus on pleasing the Lord in obedience to his word. It could save your life.

“Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.” Proverbs 16:20
The book of proverbs is full of scriptures that talk about heeding to instruction and obtaining wisdom. Those who are wise will have long life and prosper. Trusting in the Lord also helps to improve our lives because we can not always see ahead of time what is to come. We don’t always know the outcome of situations that we have been praying for. [...]
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.” Psalms 104:!
We are to affectionately and gratefully bless the Lord. He is the one who created emotions and he has emotions. The Lord enjoys heart-felt praise and adoration. When we are deeply emotionally appreciative to him, he is deeply emotionally receptive to us. That is a one-on-one connection that is powerful and untouchable. Spend some time with the Lord [...]
” O Lord, You have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.” Psalms 139 1-3
This makes me happy to enjoy the thought of the Lord knowing me this way, after all he made me. What my goal is in my life is to get to totally know Him!

“Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
Jesus died for our sins and he laid down his life just for us. But do you know anyone else on earth who would be willing to do the same for you? Most likely some have said that they will. However, when it comes right down to it, would they really be willing to die just so that you can live? Jesus died [...]
“Rich and poor have this in common: The Lord is Maker of them all.” Proverbs 22:2
No matter who you are or what your position is in life, God made you. So we should not think of ourselves any more than we ought to. Highborn, lowborn, wealthy, destitute, educated, illiterate, genius, mentally challenged, we all are made in the image of God. God is the maker of us all: This concept alone is the equalizer.

It is such a comfort to know that we can call on the name of the Lord and he pays attention. The Lord is so worthy to be praised in all of his excellence and majesty. But what makes me really happy is to know that he can rescue me from my enemies. With that in mind it is so refreshing to [...]
“Whoever digs a pit may fall into it; whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.” Ecclesiastes 10:8,9
People who have wisdom are kept from harm because they know what could happen and they are able to avoid pitfalls. “Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold” Proverbs 3:13, 14 This scripture helps us to understand that wisdom is the key [...]
